Matrans acquisition opens up Rotterdam maritime trade

Boluda Shipping has signed an agreement to acquire the Matrans maritime terminal, located in Eemhaven, one of Rotterdam’s main European short sea shipping hubs.

As the international freight logistics and maritime transport division of Boluda Corporación, the transaction strengthens Boluda Shipping’s port capabilities in Northern Europe, expanding its range of services for shipping lines, logistics operators and industrial companies.

Including the acquisition of European multimodal transport and logistics company, Samskip, announced last week, both transactions build on the shipping company’s Northern Europe network strategy.

Matrans covers an area of 360,000m² (3,875,007ft), including 70,000m² (753473ft²) of covered warehousing, and offers 1,100 metres of quay with a water depth of 12.65 metres, a ro-ro berth with a water depth of 9 metres, and 600 metres of railway track.
